Must share and then I'll get onto my assignment. Great day with family today. Christmas party in Sunday school this morning. I've really enjoyed meeting some new people and sharing with these friends. Nice fellowship as we set aside study for sharing about our lives and the upcoming holidays.
Sermon was appropriate as preacher talked about preparing our hearts for God. So true in our LBS role. The only thing we can do is prepare ourselves and work on our own mindset. Anything beyond that is not under our control. So prep your own self for the next R, no matter who it is with.
Went as a family to a community chorus presentation of Handel's Messiah. More fun to see people in our community displaying their talents.
On to the weirdness:
W made a smarta$$ comment to S10 as we were coming out of church about living in the Twilight Zone for the past few weeks. This was after I made sure up speak to one of the members of my SS class before we left.
She also asked me afterwards if anyone asked why she didn't come to Sunday School with me and I truthfully answered NO.
At lunch, W was talking about the latest thing someone has volunteered her to do. She never says no to anything or anyone but me. This has been the case for 20 years. Anyway, she was looking for old JF to say she shouldn't or it was too much. I simply told her if it was something she thought she wanted to do, she should do it. S10 and S12 did the work for me. When she asked out loud "Why do people always ask me to do these things?" The boys jumped in. Both said "Because you never say no" & "Because you will do it" & "Because they want you to spend more time away" (a gem from S10).
The biggest problem with her taking things in is that she can't handle any responsibility right now, much less adding more. I didn't say anything more than encourage her to do it if she wanted to.
Kids say the darnedest things...
